WDYTYA series 4 # 7 Matthew Pinsent

[Siamese Girl]

If only I could find out who John Elton's parents were who died in Ledbury in 1683, the OH might well have his gateway ancestor ( yup back to Edward I as well)

The only trouble about linking into royalty is that you then seem to be descended from every great figure in early British history - you name them and yes, that's gt gt gt whatever grandpop It's not just himself up there - the OH would be descended from Alfred the Great as well (I find that just as impressive!)

OH would be descended from Alfred the Great

If he is good at burning cakes you may be on to something big.

Chance would be a fine thing!

I enjoyed this one, completely the opposite to my family of miners, ag labs, and mariners. We haven't even got a photo of my gr grandparents, let alone family portraits, they didn't have the money for photos.

I got a bit lost around the god part.  I can never quite get my head around the God - Adam and Eve - Kane and Abel versus Dinosaurs - caveman - neanderthal man etc.

I would rather believe the theory of evolving from a fish like the Guiness advert

I really enjoyed Matthews WDYTYA. However  it was very sad to think of all those young boys being killed in WW1 just having left school with their futures before them.  George who took his own life was only 18 fresh out of school.  He  must have been so overcome by despair at the thought of failure to resort to suicide. 
Discovering he was related to Kings must have given Matthew such a great feeling.  His Mother must have been elated.  I laughed out loud when the scoll was rolled back to reveal God

WDYTYA's greatest hits for me are


Series 1: Meera Syal; Moira Stuart
Series 2: Sheila Hancock, Stephen Fry
Series 3: Nigella Lawson, Nicky Campbell
Series 4: Alastair McGowan, Graham Norton

Oh how can I forget Nicky Campbell. Another great one.

Which "celebs" would you like to see on next years show?

I would like to see the guy who played Carmel's boyfriend in the early Eastenders, and also The Bill, Stephen Hartley, because his nan and mine were cousin. 

[Nutty1966]

Would like to see Sir Ian Botham, Peter Kay amd maybe Delboy aka David Jason
